"Belle Birthday" for Julia

I used my Cricut to make a Birthday Card for my
nieces Birthday. She loves
"Belle"! I chose to use my
"Dreams Come True" cartridge and cut Belle3 out for her! Tiny Princesses are definately a challenge. Her lips and the whites of her eyes were so tiny. I cut her out at 3 1/2"!
I usually don't cut them out so small, but it did need to fit on the card. I chose to use a gel pen to dot the one eye and the lips... all of the other pieces seemed to be manageable.
For cardstock I used: the white (leftover from the wedding announcements..it is ultra smooth and similar to Whisper White), "Black"and a "Yellow" both fromboth by cardstock package Ampad from Wal-mart Stationary, a brown from Paper Co Nuetrals package purchased at Michaels. Just a note on the "yellow",I tried using other Yellows like So Saffron and Barely Banana and Summer Sun but they didnt quite go together to give the "Belle" look... this one worked perfect with SU "Yo Yo Yellow" which I used for the trim. Her flesh is a beige' pink I picked up in single sheets at Michaels. Her lips a lovely Ruby Red. I think she turned out very cute. Behind her I used Certainly Celery and my Stylized Flower Embossing Folder. I then used Martha Stewart TearDrop pads in Dandelion, Melon, Bamboo, and to sponge the light color on the background. Then I used my Fiskars Squeeze Corner punch to dress up the corners. The Picot Ribbon is jafray and was tied around the panel before I attached it to the black base. I used my SU Word Window Punch and "Teeny Tiny Verses" to add the sentiment stamped in "Jet Black" StazOn. The white layer is mounted on Dimmesionals and a KCo. gem stone in light yellow was added.
Last of all, I used my pink 1/2" Bind it All corner rounder on the card base corners.

I hope my niece likes it...Until Later... Happy Stamping!
